E. Pierce Marshall, the man who battled Anna Nicole Smith for his father's fortune all the way to the Supreme Court, died this week. According to a family spokesperson, the cause of his death was "a brief and extremely aggressive infection." He died Tuesday in Dallas.Marshall is the son of the late oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, who, at the age of 89, married 29-year-old Anna Nicole. He died one year later. The junior Marshall sued Anna Nicole Smith, saying he was his father's sole heir and Smith was only entitled to the $6 million in gifts she received from his father for the year they were married. The case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which sent it back to the same California Appeals Court that overturned the $88.5 million she was awarded in 2002 by a federal district judge.

The shock of losing to Anna Nicole Smith in a Supreme Cout case is enough to kill anybody.

Obviously God and/or Howard Marshall really want the overinflated bimbo to have the money.

It's amazing, everyone goes through some crazy moments and there are people out there that have serous issues and because of them they do not make the best decisions... However they are still people.. They cry just like you do.. They bleed just like you do.. They are someone's daughter or son's just like you are...
Can we recognize that fact and show just a bit of sympathy for Anna Nicole's Loss???

She's had alot of losses. Does it not seem strange that everyone she comes into contact with passes away? She's strong and I'm sure she will bounce right back into fighting for more money.

He's not her ex-husband; he's her late husband.
If they'd been divorced she wouldn't have won the court case.
